Viruses

Susanne Modrow

Viruses, although particularly small and simply constructed, have been among the most feared human pathogens not only since the Corona pandemic. Their sophisticated and effective reproduction, adaptation and infection techniques make it difficult to combat them effectively. But our knowledge of viruses, which is growing year by year, has also led to considerable progress in the prevention of virus-related diseases and their treatment. In this book, an internationally renowned scientist explains the structure and diverse manifestations of the viruses. She explains how viruses cause illnesses and describes the most important means and techniques of modern virus control.
